Capcom announced the upcoming PSP title Power Stone Collection during its annual press event, which the company held yesterday in Las Vegas. As the name implies, it's a compilation of the Powerstone series, which includes Power Stone and Power Stone 2. Unfortunately, we couldn't actually play the game, as the event lacked a demo, but we still learned a number of key facts.

First and foremost, the game supports multiplayer for up to four combatants. It's only Ad-Hoc (local wireless), as far as we know, but that's still enough to get fans excited. The game also includes game sharing for up to three players, which means only one copy of the game is necessary to play with a group of friends. Both these revelations bode well for a game structured around multiplayer, but we'll have to wait and see how it pans out.

Also new, according to developers, are a few training modes for beginners to hone their skills. Then there's a slew of new weapons and items, which players can find littered across the game's many combat arenas. From what we saw of a video-only presentation, these new items look just as outlandish and wacky as the rest of the game - something Power Stone aficionados will definitely appreciate.

And yes, developers have tweaked the interface considerably to make the game mobile-friendly. The biggest changes have been made to the game's camera, which is now changeable on the fly. Players can choose between wide, mid and close range, depending on the situation. It still offers the dramatic angles, especially when characters keep a distance, but it's just easier to track people. And speaking of tracking, there's a new radar function that will help players locate the Power Stones.

As is tradition with most PSP titles, Power Stone Collection includes a bunch of unlockable content such as art galleries, weapons and secret modes. We're not entirely sure what they all are, or how much of this secret content there is, but it's cool knowing it's in there.

February 13, 2006 - On April 25, 2006, Sony Pictures Home Entertainment will release the long-awaited sequel Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children on DVD and PSP in a two-disc special edition. Described by SPHE, the feature-length film is "brought to life through 100 minutes of beautifully crafted visual content," and "revisits the rich universe and memorable characters of Final Fantasy VII, one of the best selling video games of all time." The two-disc DVD set will be available for the MSRP (Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price) of $26.95, while the UMD will be offered for the MSRP of $28.95.

The DVD bonus features include the following extras:

* Story digest * Deleted scenes * Featurette: "Making Of Final Fantasy VII" * Footage of Final Fantasy VII at the Venice Film Festival * A sneak peek of the games in the upcoming "Compliation of Final Fantasy VII" series

Final Fantasy VII, which will be available in widescreen presentation, has a running time of 101 minutes and is rated PG-13. Check out the box art below

"You know the world is going crazy when the best rapper is a white guy, the best golfer is a black guy, the tallest guy in the NBA is Chinese, the Swiss hold the America's Cup, France is accusing the U.S. of arrogance, Germany doesn't want to go to war, and the three most powerful men in America are named 'Bush', 'Dick', and 'Colon.' Need I say more?"

"Yeah, I love being famous. It's almost like being white, y'know? People are nice to ya, they give you the beneift o' the doubt... You drive a flash car down the freeway and the cops'll pull y'over and before they even look they like 'What the f**k are you doing?' and then they see it's you and they like 'Awww man, it's Chris Rock, it's okay, man we thought you was a nigga'."

"Wal-mart... do they like make walls there?"

"Not victory Obi won. The shroud of the darkside has fallen. Begun the clone war has."
